BUILD Architecture Awards 2023 80 hen it comes to the production of Building Integrated Solar Solutions, there are few firms finer than the team at Exasun. Their products, X-Roof and X-Tile, are innovations in every sense of the word, offering efficient and sustainable energy solutions while seamlessly integrating with the design of buildings. For the residential sector, Exasun is a game-changer. The secret of Exasun’s success is in its ability to offer homeowners an energy-efficient and sustainable solution for their pitched roofs. Recently, the team has worked to provide an integrated solution for serial housing in new construction. This solution has been designed to specifically meet the needs of houses through black and terracotta colour options that will seamlessly blend with standard roofing materials. The team’s products feature innovative and proprietary installation details, requiring only four components to create a watertight, energy-producing, and aesthetically pleasing roof. One of the aspects that sets Exasun’s Building Integrated Solar Solutions apart is the way in which the smaller sizes of the panels allows for the optimal coverage of the roof surface. 20% more power can be generated from the same roof area than with on-roof solutions. As the demand for electricity grows as a result of heat pumps and electric vehicles, so too does the need for solutions like those offered by Exasun. Since opening their doors, Exasun has worked tirelessly to expand the reach of its products. One of the key ways in which this has been achieved is through partnership with Wienerberger, who is now set to sell and distribute products in the European market, with the exception of Spain and Portugal. As the largest producer of ceramic roof-tiles in the region, Wienerberger’s widespread presence ensures broad market coverage. The team is also looking at working with local partners outside of Europe to continue establishing the reach of the business. Looking ahead, it’s clear that Exasun has plenty of potential ahead of it. The team is still developing new and exciting solutions, including Building Integrated Photovoltaic-Thermal (BIPV-T) solutions that seamlessly integrate solar and heat. Also under consideration are applications such as BIPV façade solutions that feature similar smart and innovative installation details, which can help to increase installation speed and reduce costs. This growth in products, however, must be matched by a growth in outreach. As such, it’s little wonder that the team is establishing strategic partnerships with local partners in North and South America. Such care and attention to how to pace growth and ensure its sustainability is why it has risen so high in the industry at such an impressive rate. We can’t wait to see what they do next!
